In My Memory Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I was surprised () to see that this board didn't have a thread dedicated to the all-knowing Political Compass test. So, here it is. Take the test at http://www.politicalcompass.org/, then post your results. I'll go first: Economic Left/Right: -4.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yggdrasil Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Economic Left/Right: 0.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.95 Very interesting. Apparently, I am pretty moderate when it comes to economic issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetrahedrite Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Economic Left/Right: -6.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.38 Puts me right in line with Gandhi An initial look at the results posted so far shows what everybody should expect, that the results for people from the USA are generally more positive than for the rest of the world. It is by no means conclusive though....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangloss Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Ed, did you actually score +7.8 on the authoritarian axis? Ala Adolf Hitler? Or did you just forget to include the minus sign? Some of the questions on this thing are pretty lame and difficult to assess. For example, "A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system." Do they mean "do you feel that a one-party state is a good thing or a bad thing"? Because surely that question, on an entirely factual basis, could only be answered "yes". How could it be answered "no"? There were a lot of dubious questions like that, so I feel my score is not accurate. I think I lean farther towards the libertarian side on that Y axis, and closer to the center on the X axis. But hey, to each his own, I guess. It's not like this test is objective.
